UELocKit

UELocKit is a small toolkit for building Unreal Engine localization mods from existing in-game strings.

It is intended for translators and modders who want a repeatable workflow for:

• editing translations safely
• rebuilding .locres
• generating .locmeta
• packaging localization mods into .pak
• converting to .utoc and .ucas when the game uses IO Store

Supported workflow

UELocKit supports a practical workflow built around:

• an existing source .locres
• an editable translation working file in json or csv
• generated working translation files created from the source .locres
• rebuilding translated localization outputs
• packaging those outputs for Unreal Engine games

Non-goals

UELocKit does not try to:

• distribute original commercial game files
• distribute extracted proprietary localization files from games
• bundle third-party tools by default
• guarantee support for inventing brand-new localization keys in arbitrary Unreal games

Important note

Users are expected to provide their own:

• extracted localization inputs
• local tool installations

This repo documents the workflow and provides scripts. It does not ship the extra files needed from a specific game installation.
